The Pediatric Enuresis Module on Quality of Life™ (PEMQOL) is comprised of two multi-item Likert-type rating scales, the
Child and the Family Impact scales. These scales measure the parent's perspective with regard to the impact of enuresis on
their child and family's emotional and social well-being (7 and 9 items, respectively). The PEMQOL requires an estimated
7th grade reading level (Flesch-Kincaid) and also includes global items to measure parental attitudes toward enuresis,
coping, compliance, and frustration with prior experience.
Thinking about your child during the past four weeks, how strongly do each of the following statements apply to him/her?
How strongly do each of the following statements reflect the situation for your family, relatives, and you?
In general, how would you rate your child's ability to cope or deal with his/her wetting?
Compared to a year ago, how would you rate your family's frustration with the problem?
The doctor may have suggested treatments/behavior modification programs (including bladder exercises and/or "timed
voiding intervals").
How often has your child experienced success with any of these programs?
• My child could control his wetting if he/she tried harder or paid more attention to the problem
• Being unable to control wetting is a behavioral issue
• There is a neurological basis for my child's problems with wetting
• Being unable to control one's bladder at my child's age is a significant health problem
• My child will outgrow this problem
• Medication will be more helpful in solving the problem than behavior Modification
• I am concerned that my child has an underlying serious medical issue
